Kenpilot Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hi, didnt read all Posts, but i didnt read anything about making a fresh and clean reinstall of your PC. It can help to solve your problem and in the whole thread there are mentioned very strange issues.... So I think in the end this will be the best way. And before you start... try to inform yourself about updating your BIOS at the manufacture homepage. I was afraid to update the BIOS too, but with the manual it was very easy and selfexplaning. Maybe its different with your mobo but atleast take a look and then you can decide. Last but not least. Check that all cards and cables are pluged in properly... :smartass: I actually went ahead and updated my bios this morning, no help. Do you mean a fresh clean install of windows?

Bender_39 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Yes...:( In my opinion there are more than one issues with your system But I recommend to wait what the tech guys are saying:smilewink: kind regards Bender_39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender_39 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 One more thing... Windows install should be on its own Drive (c:/) and your Games should be on a different Drive (e.g. d:/) Also delete dcs and redownload it...! (Maybe Backup your settings, etc. But the Problem can be there:thumbdown: ) I know that this really sucks and should be your last option but not being able to enjoy dcs with a 1080ti card is even worse. kind regards Bender_39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenpilot Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Thanks guys, I'm going to do all of the above and see if it helps. I'm also buying a new PSU and MOBO right now in case the clean install of windoes doesn't work. Wish me luck! Thanks for everyone's help!!

Kenpilot Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 I have a SSD and a HDD. Which one should I put windows on and which one should I put my games on?

Bender_39 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) which size are they? You can also create a new partition, having c:/ and d:/ on the same disk. My Configuration looks like that, C:/ OS on a SSD (128GB), D:/ only DCS on a SSD (250GB) E:/ FlightSim and Games on a SSD F:/ a HDD for the downloads and backups What I learned is that its always the best to have the Operating System on its own Drive Edited March 28, 2018 by Bender_39 kind regards Bender_39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortcut Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Can I make one more suggestion You have the Nice 8700K and you running it @ 3.7ghz get yourself some decent cooling and turn that bad boy up at to at lease 4.7ghz so you can feed that 1080ti what it needs. I had mine up to 5.2ghz but only seen a few FPS more for me the sweet spot is 5.0ghz 13700K, MSI Z690 D4 Edge wifi, Swiftech H360X3 Cooling with Corsair Water Block, Gigabyte 4090 OC, 64gb Trident Z 3600 CL16, Evga 850W G2 power supply, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswinds Rudder, TrackIR 5, HP Reverb 2, Pimax Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mine up to 5.2ghz but only seen a few FPS more for me the sweet spot is 5.0ghz I definitely plan on OCing that bad boy, when I have a few minutes to learn how. I've never overclocked anything before. from what I've heard, it's pretty easy these days. Thanks for the suggestion!

JetBLASTER Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 No more crash or stutters thanks to Sham03 For many months I've been reading almost every post in this forum trying to end crash and stutters in the game that I love. I followed all the Sham03 info and the game has no more crash or stutters It does not cost anything to try because it's free to have Process Lasso to try, buy if it works. I've never had DCS working so perfect.

Kenpilot Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Latest Update: I have tried the following and still, no help: Process Lasso New/different MOBO New/different PSU At this point the only things left that I haven't done are a clean reinstall of Windows and lastly, return the GPU and see if maybe I got a bad card. Thanks everybody for your help and hopefully I'll have a final resolution to my game crash issues sooner rather than later.

Dejjvid Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Admin DOS window sfc /scannow will take 10 minutes if that comes back OK, your windows install is ok and there is no point re-installing windows As fixing computers and networks is my business I want to laugh out hard when I read that comment. But I won’t. In order for SFC to be useful you need a current repo to check with. You do that with DISM. So first DISM, then SFC. And you always run SFC 3 times if you wanna be fairly sure it’s OK. You’d be surprised how many times a week we stumble upon 2 SFC’s that runs OK and the third one find and fixes issues. Even though you run them in consecutive order. But then again, DISM/SFC will fail to repair even the dreaded start menu fail bug in Win10, so even MS recommend reinstall after DISM/SFC.

Kenpilot Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Latest Update: I did a clean re-install of Windows 10 and I couldn't even get my computer to recognize the 1080 ti GPU, it was just a black screen when I tried to use it. I called EVGA and they said just to send it back. I re-installed my old EVGA 1050 Ti and have had no crashes at all. The only thing now is when I try to exit the game, it never exits properly and always says the program is not responding, etc, in which I just click cancel. I'm not sure why that's happening but I'd rather deal with just that then not even being able to play the game for more than 10 seconds. I should have the new 1080 ti on Wednesday and I'll report back if it works and it was just a bad card or if I'm still having game crashes with it. Thanks again for everyone that has helped and made some suggestions!! It's much appreciated!!

Kenpilot Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Great news guys, got the new card and no crashes! Well, game wise. :lol: Looks like it was a bad card after all of that. The game still doesn't exit properly, and I do run it as administrator. Not sure what's going on there. I play it thru Steam if that means anything. Thanks again to everyone who tried to help!!
